is there a divx plugin for konqueror or firefox?

there is no xfree86 anymore in almost any major distro

It's in the debian repositories

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8087830/r818x-essid.patch

debian has no xfree86 anymor either

there are quite a few duplicates. That patch is linked to bug #74672

administrator, you need to get the drive mounted with write privileges, I have never dealt with ntfs on linux as I just formatted windows when I came over a few years back so I am not sure exactly what the state of that is in ubuntu. If you need to use ntfs-3g I think I recall that there was an expiremental kernel thing that would do it but I don't know if that is compiled into ubuntu's kernel, so anyways, probably someone else
should be asked

wols_; i asked about my mouse not working in Q3A in linux

so im trying to run a server what do you suggset I do so I can write to that damn drive but still be able to serve files to windows computerS?

format it ext3

administrator, serving over a network doesnt seem to present any issues with hard drive formats

so a windows user can read the stuff of ext3 drive?
that seems unbelievable

yes

But OK...how I format

no it's not

AH thats what i'm looking for

windows can even use ext3 drives

OK lets do this, how I format this second ntfs HDD?

administrator, well all i know is that i could write to ntfs over a network before i installed ntfs3g to write to my internal ntfs partition

man mkfs

pyrak ah but you couldn't write to NTFS in linux hosting right?

i just installed dapper on a tosheba satelite laptop the "network settings" autodetect modem doesn't see any modem can anyone help me get it online ? (obviously i'm not talking to you on the laptop)

Flannel and Ambientmstr ty very much, he will try those when he wakes up. i'm very grateful to you

So how I format NTFS to ext3...Im setting up a server host with Samba so it doesn't matter I gues

!nvidia

To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

man mkfs

Hi, I have a kinda urgent problem. All my critical files are backed up onto a NTFS-formatted IDE drive. Fstab apparently has no entry for it, and it is not automounting. It is set on its own primary cable on cable select, but I don't think it makes a difference. Thing is, I can't see it in Windows either. I'm using Kubuntu Feisty, and here is a pastebin: http://www.pastebin.ca/589798.

anyone ?

adnimistrator - if you're networking with samba it doesnt matter

yes I know thats why im going to format, wols how iI man mkfs?
I have to use this little xterm shoit right?
Since my terminal isn't working god knows why

administrator, not on an internal drive until i installed ntfs-3g, which was cake. also, i think that maybe perhaps possibly ntfs-3g is build into the ubuntu installation now.

gnome-terminal isn't working ?

FOR A GAY NIGGER FUTURE!

run gnome-termninal in xterm to see what the error is

FOR A GAY NIGGER FUTURE!

what modem chip is it? and why dapper?

wols_ last first. cause i'm on dialup and i have a dapper cd. i don't know what modem

i dont remember which one i want..

until you find out we cannot help you. maybe you fins a psychic who can

Can someone give me the xterm command for formatting an NTFS drive to latest ilnux format ext3

you realize that will destroy all the data on that drive, correct?

yessir

u trying to do a sudo fdisk -l command or something?

IDK what that is

use synaptic, install gparted. destroy the partition and re-mkae it
!parted | administrator

to list your drives or u need to format a drive?

Sorry, I don't know anything about parted - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

!gparted

GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

man mkfs

isn't there just some simple command?

mke2fs -j /dev/hda#

thanks

why does he need to delete the partition?

isnt that GNOME partition editor? or is Gparted differant?

its second HDD so its probably hdab right?

why are you asking us to do these things for you? you should be learning how to do them yourself?

we have a mkfs.ext3 nowadays

Isn't that how I learn?

sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just want to make sure I'm clear - is prevu a way to install packages from versions of ubuntu *other* than what you are currently running?

second hd on the first ide cable?

probably hdb# or sdb#

yeah good book to get is the Ubuntu Bible, its great, and pretty cheap

no. you learn by reading documentation and trying things out

parroting commands is not how you're going to learn, and gparted is far easier to use than the terminal

asking us is like dowing the learning for you

msl, remember to edit the file system type in fdisk on that partion, what you do is just format is as ex2 with journal, the fdisk file type is still ntfs :-)

Eh all I've been trying to do is follow this damn guide to setup a simple headless server in kubuntu and run into all sorts of shit

that is true

linux won't care

m,,zmzmc

correct. It downloads source debs, compiles them for your current system, so you can install them locally. You'll need to also backport whatever dependencies you need as well (that page has all the details)

cacaccc

mke2fs -j /dev/hdab IT is

febri-ns: cat-like typing detected

thats ext3 right?

how about man mkefs and find out?

that's wrong, where is your hard drive located? slave drive on first IDE cable?

yes

32 bit will be faster than 64 bit xubuntu generally right?

that'd be /dev/hdb then, but in order to make a filesystem you need to specify a partition, not a drive

I'm not sure what "backporting" means..... :-S

it means taking a fix from a newer version and putting it in your version (in this case, an entire program)

I mean, I am not going to be doing any physics emulations, or anything of the sort. Sure I might download something in firefox while listening to music and talking on GAIM. But nothing that big.

administrator, big warning on mkfs, you will loose all content, so make sure you do it rigth the first time

mi having trouble burning cds (or dvds). using the "write to disk" option for isos, nautalis tells me that i don't have a cd w/ sufficient space. but the cd is completely blank and the iso is only 57MB

do you have a 64-bit processor?

preaction its all one partition

yes

it's when you port a piece of software backwards (to a previous version). So, taking a gutsy version and making it work for feisty.

again, /dev/hdb is a disk, not a partition

much thanks

Yes I know I have nothing on the drive

you have no partitions on the drive? then you can't make a filesystem

administrator, do not just mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1 when the drive is /dev/hdb2

OK letme clarify I have a NTFS drive here where I can see the contents but not delete them or anything

I got wow working on my 7.04 system using wine and everything runs great until I attempt to quit the game; it just freezes up and I have to kill the process. Anyone know why?

then one day, when people start using 64-bit registers, the 64-bit version will be faster

administrator, mkfs.ext3 dont ask if you realy want it !

I'm going to be running samba so ext3 won't matter

!ntfs-3g | administrator

ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions

nice and busy in there tonight. this is great

I don't need ntfs-3g if i'm runnig Samba right?
I want native linux format

should I just use 32 bit for now, or should I stick with what I have (64 bit)?

there's really no difference either way, except in some very rare cases where the 64-bit version is kinda fuzzy

administrator, use nfs then :-)

okay thank you, and goodbye
LOL i luv linux.
linux loves me back sometimes too.

nfs?

But sometimes linux beats me like a redneck on wife.

network file system. for file systems over a network where no windows machines need to view the files

Greets, everyone...

make 2fs Permission denied

I cry and say I love it, but it doesn't listen.

when trying to determine filesystem

And it beats me more.
It keeps going...

lol

But there are some really grand times.

xpoint, administrator is wanting to create the local file system to be advertised.

I broke up with my last OS because he got me in all sorts of legal trouble.
XP pirate.

yarrr

administrator, try 'sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1'

nfs is possible with windows, its just not default, reason i say nfs is that samba might be to unsecure

all I really want is a simple home server security isn't really a problem
thanks timfrost

So XP got a restraining order on me, and I started to use linux. Oooh Xubuntu.

guys i'm getting a GPG error when i run sudo apt-get update...this is on dapper...any help?

Goodnight, I am off to have sex with Xubuntu.

speaking of NFS... I tried to set up networking for my home PCs with NFS and couldn't figure it out using samba atm

Xubuntu wears magnums.

administrator, ftp could be all then

timefrost, "the device does not exist"

don't forget the -j since that is the difference between ext2 and ext3

administrator, try /dev/hdb1 rather than /dev/sdb1

just got my new dell fedora linux box today )))

why ext2 still supported?

Anyone know of a remote desktop client which supports RDPv6?

ext2 is used for boot partitions i think?

msl, mksf -j /dev/md12 or mkfs.ext3 /dev/md12 will be the same

if you want a simple homeserver, you possibly like YaCy.

it depends on if you want a journaled filesystem or not. ext2 is fine, I just thought you were wanting ext3

Can someone help me get a Zeroconf network running? Whenever I click Network Services in Konqueror, it says mdnsd isn't running.

brb

ext3 latest and greatest right? whats journaled
@ andax11 YaCY is OS?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_system

No, YaCy is a sort of web environment you can install on a linux box. It contains a distributed webcrawler engine, blog, wiki... and it's all on your OWN machine

!google ext3

Sorry, I don't know anything about google ext3 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

@ timfrost it now can't determine size
@ I had to unmount the volume

hehe

@ andax11 sounds sexy

It requires java

@ andax11 cept all I need is filesharing and torrent downloads
java is bad
sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1 doesn't work

java still wastes a lot of system resources on linux but it works

administrator, well torrent is nice, but how about gtk-gnutella :-)

what's the verdict on java 6?

)
gtk-gnutella whats thaty

there are some alternatives to sun's java web hosting btw

!gtk-gnutella

administrator, windows vista is nice to, but dont try beryl on linux then :-)

Sorry, I don't know anything about gtk-gnutella - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

lol

after upgrading to vista (tux forgive me) I quickly realized what a bloated POS it was buggy as heck too... major resource hog - even more than the norm for windows

administrator, apt-cache show gtk-gnutella

ugh ok getting too OT
how I format NTFS drive to ext3

DRM crapware... but it looks good, dahhhhhling LOL

sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1 doesn't work

first step

administrator, change the filesystem type to 83, using 'sudo fdisk /dev/hdb' or equivalent , then run 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1'

administrator, want to kill the cat ? :-)

no

I downloaded a filter for gimp, in which folder should i put it? any help, please?

I learned my lesson earlire
after fdisk /dev/hdb1 it says no such file or dierectory

administrator, do check with device it is
administrator, dmesg | grep hd

dmesg | grep [hs]db1

sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1NTFS-fs warning (device hdb1): parse_options(): Option utf8 is no longer supported, using option nls=utf8. Please use option nls=utf8 in the future and make sure utf8 is compiled either as a module or into the kernel.

msl, this disk can be multipartionen

mits ont
its not
its just 1, simple NTFS slave

administrator, good

I thought we were determining whether the drive was ATA or SATA

hmm, no one?

its not sata its on old IDE cable

administrator, what drive letter is it ?

administrator, can you pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l'

Hi all. I'm trying to follow the direction shere... http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1122078&postcount=11 . I'm just trying to figure out what my "hostname of your ubuntu computer". Can anyone help me?

uh...on windows it was D

again:I downloaded a filter for gimp, in which folder should i put it? any help, please?

NeXtDaY, in the home dir you have there is a .gimp... dir there is a subdir for plugins olso
administrator, last one, we are on fdisk then leave out 1

Shell prompt? Terminal?

yep I know that.. but where to put the filters? in /.gimp or in /plugins?

timfrost you still want me to paste bin

yes

NeXtDaY, in the hidded gimp dir

administrator, 'sudo fdisk /dev/hdb'. Issue command 't' to change type, '1' for aprtition # 1, and '83' as the type.

Thanks

guys i'm getting a GPG error when i run sudo apt-get update...this is on dapper...any help?

ok got that but the filter name is plasma2-2.11.tar.bz2.. should do something before I copy it to the location?

NeXtDaY, yes, gimp will not unpack this tarball for you :-)

I haven't done anything yet

timfrost this doens't make sense/ didn't work
inistrator, 'sudo fdisk /dev/hdb'. Issue command 't' to change type, '1' for aprtition # 1, and '83' as the type.

what do yall think is better... kopete or pidgin/gaim

administrator, this cant be right, dmesg shows /dev/hdb1 no ?

pidgin

any word on compiz-fusion for amd64 yet?

think so admin

(besides compiling it myself... *shudders*)

It works. And is installed by default in Gutsy?

ask in #opencompositing-dev

administrator, what happens when you do 'sudo fdisk /dev/hdb'?

corevette, sure

can someone help me please

KDE or gnome?

kde but...
i know know yall dont like this but im not on ubuntu

administrator, when you are in fdisk, type p to make sure the partion is linux

: ( i wish i was but it wont install on this pc
i get xserver errors our the ying yang

if you use kmail, kopete integrates pretty nicely

Anyone here have experience with virtualization with KVM?

timfrost timfrost You may change all the disk params from the x menu

ooo msl i th ought u were trying to help wiht my question

does anyone here know how to switch a card using madwifi from g mode to b mode?

im wanting to install this screensaver
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=30313&forumpage=2
but dont know how
lol

i am a user of ubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn and am contemplating triple booting w/ xp and freeBSD. unix is an obvious 'next frontier' and i am wondering if anyone has taken a similar plunge?

timfrost actually

hi - can anyone here help me out with the "time" command? It won't take options nor will it allow me to redirect output

timfrost it says "Command (m for help)

You can try downloading the source and compiling it there

administrator, at that prompt, type 't'. It will prompt for the partition # (1) and then the new type (83)

funnily, it has an empty readme

sorry im a linux newb.. how do i do that

don't take a poll, ask a real question

you can try extracting the source and run make in its folder, and then make install

Anyone knows why i keep gettin "Operation not supported" when i run "sudo modprobe kvm-amd" ?

ok well i have the source d/led now what do i do with it

timfrost Changed system type of partition 1 to 83 (Linux)

am on GNOME, can't do it here .. wait for some KDE person, it depends on KDE libraries

you unpack and find out how to compile it

Im trying to install KVM

timfrost now what

administrator, now do 'w' to write the changes, then 'q' to quit.

what CPU exactly? Socket AM2?

sudo killall gnome-panel

where can i donwload ddos attack ?

okay, extract the contents to a folder firs

timfrost DOS Compatibility flag is not set

nowhere. we don't support little kids with a napoleon complex

first*

administrator, after that, you should be able to format the partition with 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1'

and enter the folder from your terminal bobdraken

ok one second

@ timfrost WORKS YES

ok , sorry but i wrote on wrong window

administrator, the DOS Compatibility flag is not a problem here

you can't actually do a DDoS attack from Mexico anyway

heh

you are still a script kiddie and should be executed

ok its extracted to the folder

your IP transit to the rest of the world is like 56k

im in the folder

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 34 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

he said DDOS. he wants a botnet that litle twerp

type ---./configure --prefix="/usr"

yeah, and to control a botnet you need some outgoing bandwidth

thanks

so in term i type what now

@ timfrost "unable to mount volume"

./configure --prefix="/usr"
type that exactly, or paste it in

do you know the command to search ircd on the terminal ?

administrator, does the mount point exist?

yes. you need a connection to e.g. an irc channel. that's all. and even 56 will do that just plenty

"search ircd"?

there's a file called INSTALL in it right? Open it to see instructions :-)

something about, sudo cache ircd ?

so put this in it... ./configure--prefix="/usr"

yes

see?

apt-cache search ircd possibly?

do NOT help him

@ timfrost faield to determine the moutn point for /dev/hdb1

running an ircd is trickier than you think, and leaves your server open to all manner of attacks

yes there is a file called install

what's better than an 0wn3d script kiddie?

i click it and it ask what app i want to open the installer with
what should i pick

any text editor

there is no installer

administrator, create the directory that you want to mount /dev/hdb1 on, then add an entry to /etc/fstab. That last error is because there is no entry in /etc/fstab

How do I do that?

yup, its just an instruction doc, not an installer as such

To install KCometen3 do:1. ./configure --prefix="/usr"2. make3. sudo make install
it says this.. so i just type that in my term

exactly thats the command

read up on checkinstall first

but now , which is to download ?

what do you mean wols
checkinstall ?

none, ideally

!checkinstall

checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

I'd make sure your PC is secure before you even start

im lost

@ timfrost How do I do that?

ah, do i need gstreamer-lame to rip mp3s? or just gstreamer-plugins-ugly-multiverse?

checkinstall... do i have to do that

Hi. Ubuntu 7.04, Nvidia Ti4200 (128MB) -- getting sluggish performance. Been reading the forum for 2hrs.

um, it helps uninstall and modify later ..

so how do i use teh checkinstall

you read docs about it

OH, BTW - on my Ti4200 tried new AND legacy drivers, no change - performance still slow

sluggish where and when? how much RAM?

that'd be boblobla1

all the time ~512 mb ram.

i have a question wols.. how do you pick the persons name like that in front.. are you typing it evertime

many people are having this problem

botab

I type bobd and hit tab, XCHAT autocompletes it

called tab complete. doesn't always work as you can see

how about
kopete

use pidgin

Dunno, try it

what do i type

I'm getting crazy slow screen lag. The rest of the system is fine, just the video card is giving me a problem.

?

/etc/fstab' will add an entry to /etc/fstab

try it. it's a client feature. and for irc you should use irssi. and x-chat if you really insist on gui I guess. NOT an IM client

Pidgin does it too, in conferences and all
oh right, sorry I misinterpret

paste the output of glxinfo into a pastebin. also grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

in firefox in EditPreferencesAdvancedEncryption is that like a proxy that hides personal web host information that can be tracked

yay
it does do it

doh

I mean like if you have the protocals checked

see what I just wrote

but Konversation is what you should use instead

got it

i like pidgin..im just now trying kopete

@ timfrost second command

its pretty good i think

/etc/fstab' I get permission denied

so what does the first command give as an output? Paste it at PasteBin
!pastebin | bobdraken

pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

i did tell you i wasnt able to run/install ubuntu
im in pclos right now

@ timfrost and still getting cannot moutn volume" and "unable to mount documents"

its okay, what we're trying to do is not related to Ubuntu Just installing an application, compiling it rather

my other pc is ubuntu but for some reason it wont install on this pc : (
ok thanks... so im just gona type the /config prefix thing and not do the other thing
what was it called..

(glxinfo) http://pastebin.com/936561 (xorg.conf) http://pastebin.com/936562

In FireFox in EditPreferencesAdvancedEncryption and the two protocol boxes are checked, is that like having a proxy?

no

do not use pastebin.com. takes ages to load

then what is that for?

administrator, /etc/fstab needs to be updated as root. Try 'sudo gedit /etc/fstab', and add '/dev/hdb1 /share ext3 defaults 0 2' in the gedit GUI on a new line.

@ bradits for secure servers (https)

sorry, you said to use pastebin.

./configure --prefix="/usr" ?

next time ill use the other one

o/p at pastebin ..

okay, now is transparent proxy mean that it doesn't slow down your connection at all?

!pastebin

pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

yes I did

i got this, -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

and you can nothing do except disabling beryl or buy a faster videocard

holy macaroni

hey all!

im not using beryl.

are you in the folder where you extracted the files, in the terminal ?
cd foldername

no how do i direct myself there

@ timfrost sudo: gedit: command not foun

normal, like DOS

ok thanks one sec

okay, now is transparent proxy mean that it doesn't slow down your connection at all?

check if any process uses constants 99% CPU or so

if i resize _any_ window the sluggishness is very apparent
negative
i got my cpu graph up

no, that doesn't mean it

@ brad016 if your using one

it's a stupid xorg.conf / nvidia issue

its not working
im typing cd desktop

i need help

and cd screen saver

how i can install Proftpd on ubuntu?

remove the space from the folder name ..

bobdraken, type cd Desktop with a capital D

sudo apt-get install proftpd?

and that.

!proftpd | Aviel

how do I install .rpm files using terminal ?

you use alien to convert it to a deb

how? sorry I am new to this.

thanks

!rpm | NeXtDaY

RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)

looks liek it didnt work

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto

timfrost Flannel thanks

what are you trying to install?

this one sec
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=30313&forumpage=2
its a screen saver

He isn't on Ubuntu ..

does the dapper deb not work?

what is dapper deb?

is the file size in ls -l in bytes?

im on pclos

ls -lh

bobdraken, you need to install a number of packages, including build-essential, plus the -devel packages for all the dependencies.

On that page, you can download a deb file. bobdraken, why are you in this channel?

-dev not -devel

my other pc is ubuntu, i couldnt get it to install on this pc
and noone is in the pclos room and im usually in here

#pclinuxos-support is for pclinuxOS support.

bruenig, thanks is there anyway to determine how many files are in a directory?

megasquid, the default is bytes. If you use the '-h' option, it will convert to KB, MB,GB, etc

understood... is there anything i need to do to undo anything that may of changed form that
the configure prefix

megasquid, there is probably some sort of ls option to do it, I would just use a for loop though

configure shouldn't change anything that won't be overwritten with the next configure

so dont do anything else? im fine as is?

!help | hiko_hitokiri

nothing was changed, created, or deleted?

bruenig, or better yet, the file size of a directory, ls -lh doesn't seem to be accurate
for directories

NUM=0 ; for x in *; do let "NUM++; done ; echo $NUM
missing a "

still here?

You might try installing the Ubuntu package. It may work. It's worth a try at any rate.

megasquid, du -ha

which P2P its the best ???

nothing on your system, just stuff in that directory.

i love ubuntu, but it wont work on this pc for some reason, i get xserver errors
i tried the alter cd.. tons of stuff nothing worked

bobdraken, you just fix xorg.conf

is there is anyway I can put the tools window and the working window and other windows in gimp together,, they are all separated and it confuses me? please.. any one

how????
i keep getting no screens found

bobdraken, I don't know, I am not very pleased with the x configuration scripts of ubuntu, two other lesser distributions I have tried are better at it

that's a design decision of GIMP. I don't believe so. Although GIMPshop might change that.

i think its becasue i have two graphics

some 1 here?
i install now ubuntu for server

yes
ur right

so

!enter | Aviel

Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

what to do on the start?

!php5

Sorry, I don't know anything about php5 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

ur very right.. other dirstos seem to boot up when ubuntu fails

Flannel aha, ok. thanks again

!php

LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

What? Well, You... do server stuff with it. What do you want to have a server for?

bruenig, thanks

anyone has experience with php5-mysql problems on ubuntu ?

i install now ubuntu for server what i should to do on start? security? something??

I think when I upgraded to fiesty, my php-mysql got broken

it's fairly secure by default.

hey ppl in the install of the server its write me to chhose or DNS Server or LAMP server what select?

i have an onboard graphics card and second one .. i use the other one

What sort of server host do you want?

and for some reason i think thats why it fails to install

it says no screens found

either or none could be correct. There is no "correct" server, only what you do or don't want the server to do.

just for learn the system
cuz i going to buy server for games
so what select DNS OR LAMP?

neither. A game server would be neither of those.

How do I truncate files via the command line? "truncate" gives me a "not found" =/

how can i install frostwire ?

!frostwire | nomas

frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire

pluma, try 'file'. That should truncate 'file' unless you are unable to write to the file (or the directory that the file is in)

how do i convert a .rpm to a .deb? (just change the file extension?)

!rpm | anathematic

RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)

no. Can you not find a deb version of the package? which package?

so guys

you can just use RPM to install ;-)

Flannel, no i cannot it's for printer drivers

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto

what i should select on the install server, LAMP or DNS??

How do I do that for a pattern (e.g. every file ending in "_file") then? *_file?

nothing, if you don't need either

I've already told you. Neither.

Aviel, you've already asked this

or both, if you need both

cant selectd both only 1
what u recommend?

if you're only using it to learn how to setup a server for games you don't need either

select zero. None, nada.

select DNS!

so i press continue
oh
ok dns sec

select all imo
lawl domas

(thats just to have your choice easier)

argument list to long

Does anyone know why I can't add any launchers to AWN?

nvm i press contonue
select non
k its setup

and Flannel thanks for the link i'll read it now

echo * | xargs rm
or find ./ -print0 | xargs -0 rm

and how i install there Proftpd and SSH and Apache2?!

or rm -r ./directory

Sigh. If you wanted apache, you should've selected LAMP.

he doesn't want MySQL/PHP... yet!

no i want just learn

!lamp | Aviel

i want ssh and proftpd
how i can install?

!info ssh

!info proftpd

Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.0-21ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 765 kB, installed size 2276 kB

apt-get install openssh-server

follow that page. I'll tell you how to do it.

k

mmm
I don't even use Ubuntu
oh wait, I do

ssh is 'openssh-server' (in main) and proftp is 'proftpd' (in universe).

pluma, no. If you want to truncate a lot of files, then try 'for f in *file; do cp /dev/null $f; done' (because the other method REQUIRES the actual file name)

and how to install proftpd server??

compiz-fusion is the latest compiz and beryl mixed togetther and is still a alpha release

@poperdtb_

since when?

compiz is the latest stable compiz

poperdtb_1979@

but what has got better? what new effects has been added?

I forgot my bluetooth paired device password. How can I reset or change it?

since..hmm, 1990's ...

asti

1990's as in 1990 or 1999?

have u ever used beryl?

does anyone here know how to enable lyrics script and cover manager with proxy server in amarok

yes

i am quite a new ubuntu user and i'm not sure about how to fix it

go watch some vid's of beryl, compiz and compiz-fusion on the web and youll see the diff. Basically compiz-fusion is compiz + beryl

That anything like one form of java running ?

i'm downloading a printer driver at the moment, do i want the cups or the lpr one?

ok..I had troubles running beryl when I upgraded to feisty,,it was slow..someone told me it was something because the xorgfile was different in feisty and edgy..do you think this will work better?

not sure, what card the best place to ask is #ubuntu-effects #opencompositing #beryl and #compiz

if you have a windows installation disk can you have wine use that for running windows apps in linux?

hi
can someone help me with warnquota and exim?

I need to edit an .avi file. Can anyone recomend some software to do that with?

Kino.

does anyone here know how to enable lyrics script and cover manager with proxy server in amarok

Kino doesn't import avi files...'

kino sucks...try cinellera

You need a plugin for Kino, but it works.

where can I get the plugin?

Or you could always just get Ubuntu Ultimate Studio, has all the video editors you need
I'll google for it.

"intel_rng: FWH not detected"?

lol SoulChild, google

hmm ,... okay

Google first, people. Trust me. There's a wealth of information out there.

i'm pretty new to ubuntu. i recently gave it a shot with the wubi installer and i noticed that it mounts my internal ntfs volume just fine, with read&write access, but any ntfs volumes i plug in, they automount as read-only.
how would I get around that?

SoulChild, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/102982
that?

m0rph^^, please go to your terminal and type in sudo fdisk -l

m0rph^^: Im not sure, but setting rights in /etc/fstab may work

what does fdisk do
and do I do that before pluggin anything in?
or what

Ive had some problems with that myself
If I remember right, I did it after I mounted the partition

Is your other drive already plugged?
If so, then you can go to terminal. Otherwise, it won't detect it.

And them re-mount for ex

Also, it would help to see the contents of your fstab and mtab files. They can be found in /home/etc

and then adding something similar to /dev/xxx /media/extdrive ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

hmm ok

remember to install ntfs-3g
you can read more at http://www.ntfs-3g.org/

is it safe?

hey guys
I have a full install of ubuntu on a hardrive from a laptop with a failed mobo, the computer i'm currently on cant boot from usb, so i made a grub CD to boot the external HD, however i dont know what i should put on the root line? what should i put?

hmmm interesting, i just installed ubuntu dapper and then installed ubuntu dapper 64bit on another partition and it made the 32bit version unbootable

intelikey, how is it unbootable?

thedonvaughn it hangs

I have a full install of ubuntu on a hardrive from a laptop with a failed mobo, the computer i'm currently on cant boot from usb, so i made a grub CD to boot the external HD, however i dont know what i should put on the root line? what should i put?

goes loading the kernel then hangs

intelikey, and they are not sharing any partitions at all right?

thedonvaughn yes they are sharring /boot

intelikey, well that's the issue

thedonvaughn why ?
how is that the issue ?

intelikey, because the kernel name is blah-generic
for both 64 and 32
so basically you're using 64 bit loader and kernel and trying to boot 32 bit system

no it's not

What should i put on the root (hdX,X) line of my menu.lst to boot off a usb drive?

you missed that ohne
one

Who wants to live forever??

thedonvaughn the kernel and the initrd.img names are unique for both systems
thedonvaughn anything else ?

intelikey, nope that'd be the only thing that i could think of
all though it's obvious that something in the 64 bit installation crossed with the 32 bit

can anyone think of a reason why VNC will not redraw the screen ? i have to relog in to see "changes" i made ...

good ftp server software?

hey guys is there anyway to expand the toolbar over to my second monitor?
in gnome?

toni

intelikey, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst and an ls of your /boot dir

thedonvaughn yeah it would seem that way. but what ? i'm looking in /boot right now and there is 2.6.15-23-386 and 2.6.15-23-amd64-generic of every file except the memtest86'r

ola

thedonvaughn can't pastebin. can't get on line with that lappy

thedonvaughn dialup lots of switches and hubs on dialup i guess

intelikey, i'm with ya

Can I hack , or view any windows pc by using ubuntu?

intelikey, welllll... weird for debuging sense i'd might just take out the UUID crap in /etc/fstab and in your grub.conf and use the actual partition names
intelikey, just to rule that out ya know?
intelikey, but that's just me...

thedonvaughn i don't think dapper uses uuid
i'll look

k

of course

nope strieght /dev/sda#

intelikey, k. maybe it's not a software issue.... hrrm try booting with ACPI disabled? either in BIOS or in grub line
apci

but i think you inadvertantly hit it.

er acpi

i think it is fstab. the number of the swap partition changed
looking into it now

does anyone knows whats the minimum hardware requirement of Ubuntu Server edition??

intelikey, ah right on

yep went from 5 to 7
duh.....

intelikey, maybe another beer

then my old PC is screwed, its P-II with 64MB ram

intelikey, been so long since i've messed with a modem

same as mine Nafis

Hello!

going to see if i can get it working now

I installed 64 bit Xubuntu because I make some pretty high graphic FPS games (which require 64 bit processors). I am new to linux, but plan to make games for linux. However I need access to 32 bit applications. Is there any user-friendly way to emulate/enable 32 bit programs?

What do I do, when i get this error message:
root@ubuntu:/# ls
relocation error: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/librt.so.1: symbol __pthread_clock_gettime, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libpthread.so.0 with link time reference

CRAP! wasn't fstab.

intelikey, bleh

I think libc6 is damaged, but i don't know how to repair/reinstall ist, since dpgk --root=/... tries to use the defuct libs to run the installation script.

bmc3, that's gona be a tough one to fix without just doing a reinstall

so? is it possible to run on P-II with 64MB ram??

i just got to thinking all the swap being wrong would do is cause swap not to mount...

bmc3, how'd you get in this state?

Is what possible nafis?

and it's hung with a blank screen again

to run Ubuntu Server edition

intelikey, true but depending on how fstab is setup it would cause it to kernel panic (if that option was set, not sure off top of my head if ubuntu does that)

Uhm ... the machine hang and the user resetted it.

!tell nafis_devlp1 fluxbox

pixelation, if you have an amd64 you can run 32bit applications fine. The problem is that you need the libs and apt-get does not support automatic installation for them. So you need to download and add to e.g. /lib32/ yourself. CAUTION: Do not overwrite the 64bit libs in the /lib64 or /lib folders.

!tell nafis_devlp1 about fluxbox

i was running a debian etch server on similar hardware, haven't tried ubuntu server, but a imagine it wouldn't be too bad.

!gtk

GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI

pixelation, you probably also need the linux32 application.

gimpshop is a hack that makes The Gimp look and feel more like Photoshop. A .deb for Ubuntu is available via http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294

gah

You got any ideas how i could recover the machine?

What should i put on the root (hdX,X) line of my menu.lst to boot off a usb drive?

intelikey, hrrm.. well might want to try disabling APCI? not really sure past that.

thedonvaughn i don't think it's even getting to the fstab. i think it's hanging before it leaves the initrd

!apple

Sorry, I don't know anything about apple - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

which ver of debian?

Too bad. :-(

no

can I use the .iso wubi downloaded
will it be the same?

!tell nafis_devlp1 about fluxbox

heh unable to start gdm
how to re configure gdm ??

intelikey, yah i'm not sure if 64bit and 32bit grub can even boot each other ya know? I've honestly never tried. They might have to each have theri own stage1
so no sharing /boot

praveen, X fails to start? What GFX card?

Intel
G965

I have the ATI x1600 card and desktop effects is not working

try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to reconfigure your Xorg setup and write a new Xorg.conf

praveen_, Does it give an error screen or just stay blank
?

someone in here was helping me getting it going but I had to go

sourceforge is your best bet

Is there anyone who could help me?

i get the mouse pointer ....

gerard, Does it work with 3D *without* fglrx?

it was working fine till i changed the settings

how would I test that?

how do i use daemon tools with ubuntu?

gerard, Did you install fglrx?

this is a straight install from 7.04 cd
glxgears works fine

gerard, OK, look at the output of this command, yes = works : glxinfo | grep render

Can someone help me, how do i use daemon tools with ubuntu i have already installed with, sudo apt-get install daemontools-installer and that worked fine whats the next stepp?

Yes
GLX_ATI_pixel_format_float, GLX_ATI_render_texture
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600

ok, let me put it another way.. i've run "aptitude install nvidia-glx-new" but X still can't load the NVIDIA kernel modules. What else do i need to do? (it worked before the update manager got to it)

I switched on the restricted driver

gerard, restricted manager == fglrx
that driver requires you to use Xgl if you want to run desktop effects

Hi, I was wondering if someone could either help me with reseting my beryl/compiz settings or directing me to something so I can find out how Thanktou

so what do I do to get it working?

gerard, Try disabling it in restricted manager, see if you still get a yes from that command
gerard, Or if glxgears works

I dont, that is why I switched it on

hello all

Is there anybody know how to use daemon tools?

hoping it would make it work, but it did not

splashtk, sudo dpkg-reconfigure beryl* might do it

help i need a walk through on how to do my partition for ubuntu 7.04. stuck on how to mount stuff

gerard, you've got to use Xgl

well it still wont boot 32bit. just reinstalled grub from the live 32 and still nothing

bmc3, nice. good going

gerard, Then you need XGL, which I will warn you is a hack, and is only needed for ATI cards

Jordan_U, sweet, with the * at the end?

intelikey, that's weird man

maybe you can use this information at some time. thanks for replying to my question!

i am using feisty-amd64 on a asus m2n-mx with MCP61 chipset and i get random kernel panic, aeii, killing interupt-handler ( what can i do about this ???

what did you try, mounting wise?

splashtk, Yes, I don't know what packages to reconfigure specifically, that will get anything starting with beryl

yeah and i havent even modified anything in that system. clean install a few hours ago

bmc3, yup noted np

which interrupt handler? what stack trace?

Is there anyone who can help me with how to use DAEMON TOOLS on UBUNTU

i'll reload it.

gerard, follow Method A of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl

Jordan_U, basically I changed it from to xgl or something, now everytime I start it it hangs and I gotta restart x

i have a 30gb and it has sda, sda1, and sda5. i think. when i try to do manual it says i have to mount it to root or something

to xgl

not "or something". proper error messages

ok 1 minute

will give that a try, thanks

Q. "what do linux users do?"

join #kubuntu

splashtk, That is probably a problem with XGL, I personally don't use beryl at all just because it would require me to use XGL on my card

A. " they install software. "

what is the best way to convert my wmv video files into another format

sorry, its running now, i will tell you at next panic...
